Ficus fraseri, the White Sandpaper Fig or Shiny Sandpaper Fig, is one of several fig species commonly known as sandpaper figs. It is native to New South Wales and Queensland in Australia and New Caledonia.[1] More ambiguous common names are "figwood" and "watery fig".[2][3]
It grows as either a shrub or tree with height ranging from around 6 to 15 metres.[1][4] Its leaves are 6 to 14 cm long and 2.5 to 6.5 cm wide on petioles that are 1 to 2 cm long.[1] The rounded figs are 1 to 1.5 cm long and start out yellow in colour, maturing to orange-red between May and February in the species native range.[1] They are edible, but insipid.[5]
In Australia, the species occurs from Tuggerah Lake in New South Wales, northwards to the Atherton Tableland in Queensland.[1][4]
The grey-headed flying fox feeds on the figs.[6]
Although rarely seen in cultivation, it is a fast-growing, ornamental species.[4] It can be easily propagated from seed.[4]
